The platform establishes 15-minute window time for clients. During that period, the crypto exchange rate does not change so that the payment along with a service charge of 1.5% can be made.
The company also included a crypto wallet group to the ecommerce software, along with a devoted tutorial, and published a blog article titled “Diamonds or Gold Are Better Suited to Get Rid of Illicit Money.” Oliver Herren, Chief Innovation Officer of the company, confessed in latter article that he was not entirely swayed of the benefits of blockchain over conventional database arrangements. He finishes by saying that “But maybe I just haven’t invested enough time in fully understanding how the blockchain ecosystem works.”

During the press conference, the firm summarized on a highly technical level what a blockchain is.
